THE Narrative as a method for the construction and expression of knowledge in didactic research

Abstract

The construction of knowledge in the social sciences has generated a series of discussions about the method and how it allows for the reliable interpretation, analysis and understanding of the phenomena studied. Didactics, as a social science, has not been alien to such reflection; therefore, it has initiated a search for methods that allow researchers to construct scientific knowledge that accounts for the meanings and significance of the discourses that surround the classroom, the same ones that evidence the teaching and learning processes. This paper presents an analytical study in which narrative is proposed as a method to epistemologically support the knowledge that is built in didactic research, achieved in qualitative research, and also as a means to express the knowledge built.
